  • Biography

    Joined UT Southwestern: 2012

    Ty Shang, M.D., Ph.D., is certified in Neurology and Vascular Neurology by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and specializes in cerebrovascular disease, and stroke treatment and prevention. 

    Research: Dr. Shang's research focuses on the inflammatory and infectious roles (such as varicella-zoster virus infection) in intracranial large vessel disease and small vessel disease. He is interested in comprehending the pathophysiology and hemodynamic changes in rare stroke disorders. These rare stroke disorders include Moyamoya Disease, CADASIL, CARASIL, COL4A1 mutation, MELAS, cerebral amyloid angiopathy and its related inflammation and angiitis, et al). Advanced neuroimaging technology such as high-resolution MR vessel wall imaging is used in his research. Dr. Shang is committed to the care of patients with cerebrovascular diseases and searching for new preventive treatments.

    Background: Dr. Shang earned his medical degree at Shandong University in China and PhD degree at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He completed fellowship training in neuroscience at the National Institutes of Health and residency in neurology at the University of Miami. Then he received advanced training in vascular neurology through a fellowship at the University of Miami.
